Sandy says How do you tell me from Sarah Palin?Byline: Sandy Quadros Bowles COLUMN:Editor's Blog Lipstick. She wears it. I still have the overgrown-tomboy au naturel lips thing going on. Several people in the last few weeks - and let's face it, who knew Sarah Palin Sarah Louise Heath Palin (born February 11 1964 in Sandpoint, Idaho) is the current Governor of Alaska. She is the youngest governor in Alaskan history (forty-two years old upon taking office), as well as the first woman to hold the office in Alaska. before the last few weeks? - have mentioned they think I resemble her. I don't see it. But if I had to hazard at risk; liable to suffer damage or loss. See also: Hazard a guess, I'd say it's the dark hair - even better, the big, dark hair - and the glasses.
